Ponyo - French Trailer
What?! They get to Ponyo in April?! You mean this week?!
This is a really terrific trailer, setting up the basic premise of the movie, but without giving anything away. Notice how moments are allowed to unfold naturally, with slow dissolves instead of rapid-fire cuts. The average shot length for Ponyo is five seconds. Five. Whole. Seconds.
As always, France treats Studio Ghibli with the utmost dignity and respect.

Yep, I hate to say this, but here in Spain they're releasing Ponyo in a couple of weeks too. Woo, less than a year from it's japanese release :)
I'm incredibly eager to see what Miyazaki sensei has prepared for us this time. Howl's was a big dissapointment for me and I hope Ponyo proves me
Miyazaki's still the great storyteller we know.
all very exciting...
i do have to say - and maybe this is just me being an incredible grump - that there's something about the colouring of ghibli's films since porco rosso that i find rather garish. a profusion of "coral-y" sorts of tints. maybe (to pick up on something suggested recently here) it's a post-kondo thing...
still looking forward, though!
This is a magical trailer. At the risk of being melodramatic it makes me sad, thoughtful, joyful and also makes me wish I was seven again.
Its also interesting that following your post re: Pixar and its potential creative end that I have the distinct feeling that America may finally fall in love with Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli in a large way.
Long live Hand Drawn animation!!
I must add, in Italy we saw it two weeks ago... And wonderfully dubbed too, the best edition of a Ghibli movie we ever had!
Really a great job from Lucky Red, who is planning to release all Ghibli movies in theaters, starting from Totoro.
Lucky!!!!
